Pronunciation

@I'm so meta even this acronym, ObsequiousNewt I'm not sure we have enough information to know this information ever. —JohnC5 19:44, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

We don't. How do we want to show this in the pronunciation section? A parenthesized colon? ObsequiousNewt (εἴρηκα|πεποίηκα) 21:14, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

@ObsequiousNewt, JohnC5: Yes, I think that would be the right thing to do. Can we use ⟨ ⏓ ⟩ to cause that? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 21:52, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Ah, but there's the thing I was forgetting. There are vowels that actually have either length. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but they exist. Lemme see if I can find one. ObsequiousNewt (εἴρηκα|πεποίηκα) 13:28, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

@I'm so meta even this acronym: You're always using unicode symbols that I can't seem to get to display! :( —JohnC5 21:31, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

@JohnC5: My apologies. The one between the chevrons above is a macron surmounted by a breve. If I use a character for which you lack font support in the future, and there isn't a Wiktionary entry for it, preview its page title with a transclusion of {{character info/new}}; that will autogenerate, among other things, the character's hexadecimal codepoint (U+23D3), its Unicode name (METRICAL SHORT OVER LONG), and a link to an appendix for its character block (Appendix:Unicode/Miscellaneous Technical), which will in turn link to the Unicode character code table for that character block (Miscellaneous Technical: 2300–23FF) — Unicode character code tables feature reference glyphs for every character, which will display for you irrespective of what fonts you have installed (because their PDFs have embedded fonts). Regarding font support, perhaps one of these four sites may be of use: [1], [2], [3], [4]. I hope all that helps. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 20:57, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
